Dr. Khadim Hussain's new book 'Rethinking Education: Critical Discourse and Society' provides an insight to readers on critical discourses in Pakistani society and its links with education system in the country. Potentially it is a harbinger of a transformation in our society where reason and critical thinking have rusted and consequently it could be translated into the stupendous power of the masses, who have traditionally been treated as a harmless, driven herd of sheep. Each chapter is a complete entity in itself and is organically connected with the whole discourse.
